My plat is from ranked 5s and I didn't care about solo queue and I finished in the 1700s for s2. I don't even know why my border is gold cos I imagine ranked 5s to be worth just as much but w/e.

I got to high 1700s in a couple days when s3 started and there aren't too many s2 gold players in my queues. Whenever I lose a game chances are there'll be someone who simply grinded solo elo flaming the gold border.

Obviously gold players shouldn't have egos (1500-1700 was just stomp after stomp) but at the same time plats/diamonds shouldn't assume skill level based on border either. But it's solo queue so what are you going to do

That's the opposite. Plats are most definitely better than golds, and diamonds are most definitely better than plats. If a diamond player told me to give him a position and he was lower than me in queue, I would give it to him if he provided me with proof.

You're the scum of this community for saying that. If I beat a diamond Irelia solo top as a gold Jax (Which I did yesterday, Lolking it if you must), does that theoretically mean that I'm now a diamond tier player and I should be revered by degenerates like you as a pro? NO!
You're physical evidence of the elitist trash in this community. Get out.

I clearly said it's the opposite when a statistically "better" player criticizes a statistically "worse" player.

Just because you are gold now doesn't give you a right to blame others on your team. If you honestly deserve to go back to plat or eventually reach diamond, then yes, you will get back to there. Don't go blaming all the "noobies" on your team for your misfortune. Until you go back to where you were in Season 2, you are what your ELO says. This is the beauty of ELO compression (soft reset) as opposed to hard reset.

irelia may have been diamond but does she main irelia? if not the argument doesn't work as well.
